What is wrong
THE TWO 0.5 BY 1.5 INCH TUBES THAT THE LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM TANK IS BOLTED TO ARE SUBJECT TO FAILURE AT THE WELD BETWEEN THE TUBE ENDS AND THE SUBFLOOR STRUCTURE. INADEQUATE MOUNTING COULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE TANK TO SEPARATE FROM THE MOTORHOME.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
UPON INSPECTION, FOUR BOLTS WILL BE ADDED THROUGH THE TOP OF THE LPG TANK MOUNTING BRACKET TO SECURE IT TO THE FLOOR OF THE MOTORHOME, IF NECESSARY.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
